Charlotte Edey (b. 1992, Manchester, UK) is a London based artist. Edey’s work unravels issues of selfhood and the politics of embodiment through a process of “world-building” by way of weaving, embroidery, beadwork and drawing. The language of drawing is translated through her textile practice. Mark-making and gesture are explored through extensive hand-embroidery and beading on tapestry, forging direct relationships between line and thread. Edey also utilizes found objects and artist frames as narrative devices to blur the boundary between the real and the represented, forming portals that reframe notions of femininity, the domestic and the interior.

Charlotte Edey has held recent solo and two-person exhibitions at Sea View, Los Angeles, CA (2023); Ginny on Frederick, London, UK (2023); Roberts Gallery, Glasgow, UK (2022); and Public Gallery, London, UK (2022) and group exhibitions at 1969 Gallery, New York, NY (2023); Anat Egbi, New York, NY (2023); Cob Gallery, London, UK (2021); The Design Museum, London, UK (2021); Palazzo Monti, Brescia, IT (2019).
